I appreciated this piece but didn't fully understand what solution is being advocated.

Is the proposal to have non-federated/compatible social networks, but then have clients that capable of posting to/reading from each? The client would be some form of Twitter/Insta/Tiktok aggregator?

Seems Egyptian individuals can own up to a max of about 150 acres of desert.

Re:4% will quit if revealed co-workers earn more money on Friday November 11, 2022 @06:40AM (#33559497)
Seems it would depend on the economic conditions... and demand for that job.

Also seems it would depend how much more they earn

Fake news? CZ is saying he spoke to Bukele and El Salvador didn't have funds with FTX....

Yeah what happens if sections of GNU GPL code are copied - surely that makes the new code GNU GPL?
Re:USDC Loses Peg on Thursday November 10, 2022 @08:24AM (#33546023)
Just to clarity - USDC is trading slightly above peg.

Meanwhile, USDT is below peg.

Def more concerning to be below than above

I don't do this at the moment but seems worth considering
Re:Proposal for new rules on short-term accommodation rentals in EU on Tuesday November 08, 2022 @07:37AM (#33518383)
Seems to be more about data gathering than rules for the accommodation itself.

More centralisation of data is always something I look out for as concerning. In this case, I'm unsure if it's a problem - could indeed be a benefit.

Re:Show HN: Financial Scraped Data on Monday November 07, 2022 @06:51AM (#33504660)
Howdy, cool tool.

- The earnings page shows all companies - would be better to filter. - It's not intuitive that you have to put the ticker/symbol into the box in financials. Could be better labelled. - Where is the data pulled from? - Would be cool if you could pull data on insider owners and largest shareholders

Re:Twitter asks some laid off workers to come back on Monday November 07, 2022 @05:57AM (#33504271)
If true, seems to me many would not accept. Although perhaps they would get a pay rise + some may value a job if they see a recession impending.

Overall, seems very odd, and if true very bad management.

Re:Show HN: Bruno – open-source API Client (alternative to postman)) on Tuesday October 18, 2022 @09:25AM (#33246741)
This is cool. Congrats.

What are the key benefits of being open source? Worth highlighting on your site?

Re:Show HN: Handy Checklists for Personal Digital Security on Tuesday October 18, 2022 @09:23AM (#33246718)
Howdy, it's Ronan.

A good few of my friends have had their accounts hacked.

So, I make a point of reviewing all my accounts every quarter.

I've developed detailled checklists and now made them into a product.

Please let me know ideas for improvements on the product!

Re:Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links on Friday October 14, 2022 @08:31PM (#33210394)
thanks, appreciate that feedback.
Re:Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links on Friday October 14, 2022 @07:13AM (#33201980)
Yeah good idea. What parameters would you want to be configurable on the widget a) by the customer and b) on the back end by devs?
Re:Show HN: Create and manage Ethereum payment links on Friday October 14, 2022 @03:14AM (#33200493)
Hi folks, I'm Ronan!

Try out Trelis by connecting any Ethereum wallet.

-> Create and manage payment links from the dashboard

-> Optionally, manage payment links with our API

-> If you have an ENS, that will appear on your payment links

-> Customers pay your links by connecting any Ethereum wallet

~

Where did I get the idea:

* I built building a crypto tax website.

* We spent lots of dev time building payment modals.

* It would have been cool to have that off the shelf

~

Some FAQs:

+ Trelis doesn't charge a fee on transactions

+ Trelis is non-custodial and has no access to your funds.

~

My ask: Suggestions for improvements and what features to prioritise.
